Senior Data Risk Audit Manager (Contract) London (hybrid, on-site when required) | Contract
La Fosse is partnering with a leading fintech to find a Senior Data Risk Audit Manager for a co-sourced technology audit engagement. You’ll lead a complex data risk audit end to end within a single audit quarter. You’ll work directly with audit leadership and senior engineering stakeholders.
The engagement
You’ll own the audit from planning through fieldwork, testing, reporting and sign-off. The focus is the database administration and engineering controls run by the Database Platform and Database Reliability Engineering (DBRE) teams, covering:
- How the data management framework and controls are designed and rolled out to product teams
- DBRE controls, including resilience
- Change management
- Access control
What you’ll do
- Lead the audit in line with established internal audit methodology and documentation standards
- Assess risks and controls across database engineering platforms and cloud data environments. Areas include data lineage, governance, retention, change management, migrations, cloud database operations and platform accountability models
- Carry out testing, evidence collection, workpapers and issue validation to regulator-ready standards
- Run your own audit data analytics, without relying on a dedicated analytics team
- Build credibility quickly with senior technology and engineering stakeholders
- Write clear, evidence-based findings that stand up to regulatory and leadership scrutiny
What you’ll bring
- Extensive experience leading technology and data risk audits in regulated financial services
- Hands-on experience auditing databases, data platforms and enterprise data environments
- Strong knowledge of data governance, data quality, lineage, retention and lifecycle management
- Solid cloud knowledge, ideally AWS (GCP also valued), plus a practical grasp of IaC, CI/CD and cloud-native architectures
- The ability to source and analyse datasets yourself. Python is highly desirable
- Fintech experience is a strong plus. If you don’t have it, you’ll need to show how your experience transfers to a fast-paced fintech environment
- A self-starter who delivers high-quality work with minimal supervision and minimal rework
